Tammy 4 All Seasons My day Vintage Tammy

Cross Stitches on my Tammy, it is hard to believe that I have stitches these tiny stitches. I haven´t been so keen to sew cross stitches not even in my youth. I am more a lover of free embroideries, which I have enjoyed a lot.

But as you know it is hard for me to resist the challenges that lovely Samm sent invitations for.
That´s why I have made my spring vintage Tammy.

I must tell you before I show the picture, that there wasn't any day light at all today. It was so dark and it has been raining all day.

I stitched on linen aida, which I thought wasn´t so easy with these itty bitty holes. But here it is, a close picture of my Spring Tammy.

The fabric that I have chosen is a new fabric but with a vintage touch, don't you think so?

My favourite colors are purple and lime green, which I have found in the fabric. And I love the big purple balls on the frame.

I love birds that is why I have chosen to stitch the Summer pinny.

Even if I am not an avid lover of cross stitching I must sew the other seasons Tammy, as I think the embroideries are so beautiful.

Thanks lovely Samm and Mary for making this blog hop so great and Brooke Nolan and Cory Blunt for providing the wonderful patterns.

This is a fresh and lovely Tammy, and this linen is beautiful! My shop in Switzerland does not have this fabric, so I will have to look at online-shops in USA! The combination green-purple is very nice!

Thank you Britt-Inger for placing the links up and your Tammy bag...I think you did very well....the spring one was one of the hardest to do and yours looks very springy with your pretty fabric and look at your pinny...well done.

After seeing your spring Tammy bag, I certainly can see why you need to do the other seasons. Your Tammy bag is beautiful. Thank you for pointing out the purple balls on the hardware. It's easy to be focused elsewhere and even though I should not have missed them, I would have. They really complement the fabric perfectly. I love the bird pinny. Thanks for participating and make me droll over the spring Tammy.

Your Tammy and pinnie are beautiful...I'm really struggling with the spring design...way too much unstitching...and many I should have unstitched but will remain as wee 'oop's'. As a new cross stitcher I have struggled but I must say I am enjoying my new stitching experience!! Happy stitching, Pauline

Love your color choices and the pop of purple on the purse frame is a nice find. I too prefer embroidery over counting tiny stitches. I lose my place so easily! I hopped over from Tammy 4 all seasons blog. She says hi! Thanks for showing us your results. Notwendy gmail
